Did you check all the items in:

http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Amcheck:_selfcheck_request_timed_out

Yes.

Fine!


/tmp
drwx--S---  2 backup backup  1024 2006-01-23 12:53 amanda/


Look in the amandad.DATETIME.debug file inside that directory
for clues.


In /tmp/amanda I don't have any amandad.DATETIME.debug file

any other files?
If there is no such file at all, then it means that amandad isn't
even starting.

When you start as user amanda "/usr/lib/amanda/amandad" manually
from a shell, it should sit there for about 30 seconds and then
time out.  Or do you get any errors about libraries not being found
etc.?

(One remarkable about your setup is that in a normal setup, you the
amandad binary is inside the libexec directory.)


/etc/inetd.conf
amanda dgram udp wait backup /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/lib/amanda/amandad


You are running with tcpd.   Are the entries in /etc/hosts.allow or
/etc/hosts.deny ok?

Both files is empty

Do you find any traces that tcpd logged about invoking the program
or denying access (maybe you have to increase the verbosity of syslogd).
Or just run without tcpd, to assure that is not the problem.
